Wow...it's been a long time since I've posted! I am very proud of all the projects you have accomplished. Two weeks left and some really cool stuff to go. Here's the line up for today.
Background: When we (animals) breathe, we take in oxygen and exhale Carbon dioxide. The Oxygen moves into our lungs and finally into the cells. The waste gas of Carbon dioxide leaves the cell. Therefore, Cellular Respiration is the process of converting glucose sugar and oxygen into water and carbon dioxide.
4 Cell pathways in the cell that release energy as ATP
http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/bio1int.htm#metab
Glycolysis - happens in the cytoplasm forms two (3 carbon structures called) pyruvate units
Aerobic Respiration - requires oxygen (happens in the mitochondria membranes)
Anaerobic Respiration - no oxygen needed (takes place cytoplasm)
Kreb Cycle /Citric Acid Cycle- takes place in the mitochondria forms 36 ATP
Instruction: Please click on each link to watch a tuturial or animation for Glycolysis and the Kreb Cycle.
